CUMBERLAND – The Clippers continue to heat up on the diamond.
Jim Ferry’s run-scoring single in the bottom of the third inning proved to be the game-winner as Cumberland edged St. Raphael Academy, 1-0, in its Division I-North clash at Tucker Field. Eric Nowinowski had a solid outing on the mound, yielding six hits and allowing no walks.
The win by the Clippers is their ninth in the last 11 games and raised their record to 10-7 in the league.
“At the beginning of the year we were hitting a little bit but the pitching was not there,” said CHS coach Paul Murphy about his squad’s early-season struggles. “Now we have great pitching and we are playing great defense. We had two errors today, but we were still solid defensively.”
The Saints, who fell to an even 8-8 in the league, had a strong effort from pitcher Nick Gaj. He allowed six hits and had five strikeouts for the afternoon.

Saturday night I attended the semi-final girls basketball
game vs Townies Girls team as an aunt of one of the EP players. It was an exciting
all-around game for both teams, and I give credit to my niece and the Townie girls
too for a great season. <br />I just have to say though, that I was
particularly impressed with the talent, poise and unflappable playing style of this
Tolman girls team! It can only speak well of a great coaching staff, and their love
and encouragement of these talented girls. After the game, the low-key humilty that
the Tolman girls displayed, showed real sportsmanship and class. I have a feeling
that this season is the "Year of the Tiger" and hope that they go straight on to
victory in the championship. No matter what the outcome though, they've gained a new
loyal fan in me, and I look forward to following the next seasons with real
interest. This is the way that high school sports should be played! You go Tolman
girls! - Regina Orio
